My wife used to make her desire for attention known by sitting next to
me on the couch and subtly jabbing her elbow or knee into me. It took
me a couple years but I finally wised up and got rid of the couch. Now
all we have are chairs. No more pain...

Just after installing my new Transporter the wife walked into the room,
looked at the rack and said Ooh, you've bought a karioke machine.
That's the furthest her interest in hifi has got.

Be glad she doesn't understand it. That way, when its time for the
my wife doesn't understand how putting a speaker behind a couch or
having the arm of the couch blocking part of a speaker can compromise
the sound. or why i 'HAVE' to place the speakers where i want them to
be. then again, given in a few months i will have my own
'entertainment' room, i can slug

Here in the UK, a boob tube is an item of ladies' clothing.
And I can assure you that, on the right lady, it is far more

When I got my new speakers off ebay, unwrapped them and plugged them in,
my wife's response was and you got them for under £800? Cool!
The old girlfriends gently tolerated the music and the hifi, but I knew
which one to marry :)

SB3 into Derek Shek d2, Shanling CDT-100,
My wife really did get what I was on about when I was researching the
Squeezebox (you know, ripping music to FLAC, tagging it all, playing
with SlimServer etc). Just looked to the ceiling, and said boys
toys...
When I finally got the squeezebox and got it all working, she was
converted.

collection.
3. She put's up with my endless tweaking of the system.
4. She let me rearrange the living room to try to find the best place
for the speakers.
5. She let's me
My wife told me - forced me! - to buy an Aktiv IsoBarik system in 1987 -
it ruined my bank account but she said she could never listen to
anything else again in quite the same way...
These days she loves the Squeezebox!
My oh my, how the times have changed...

That's quite true. Again, it isn't a rule...but we just spent a week
and around Venice. I went through a lot of shoe stores, generally
thinking about how quickly I could get my next coffee.

I'm still trying to find a woman to accept ME let alone all my toys! Of

frugal about anything but my gadgets. It's a geek's life for me.

Always hankered after a pair of panel speakers ever since hearing
Maggies years back. Finally bought a pair of Audiostats plugged in
in place of SBLs. Got v cool reception from wife on looks size
alone. I didn't greatly appreciate the sound.
Then came across some old Maggies bought

You got that right!
My wife likes to listen to music with me, but she is usually reading a
magazine or something, and does not concentrate on the as intently.
Maybe it's because she is so much smarter and I have to
It's strange, but there's evidence to show that women have a better
sense of hearing than men.
You'd think they'd be able to appreciate the more esoteric audiophile

Ah, she likes to listen to some nice music when having dinner or taking a
bath. Quiet stuff, like Simon and Garfunkel, Andrea Bocelli, Bee Gees
sometimes
And she's OK with me putting up some room acoustic treatment stuff in the
living room, so how good can it get, really... :-)
